Abstract: The present invention relates to fragrance raw materials having a tertiary alpha carbon atom, to fragrance delivery systems which comprise said tertiary alpha carbon atom fragrance raw materials, and pro-fragrances which are capable of delivering said tertiary alpha carbon atom fragrance raw material and thereby providing an enhanced and sustained aesthetic fragrance benefit. The compounds and systems of the present invention are suitable for use in fine fragrances, perfumes, and other personal care compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fragrance delivery systems which comprise: a) one or more pro-fragrances having formula (I) wherein G1 and G2 are methyl, or a cyclic hydrocarbyl unit derived from the isomers of ionone and/or damascone; R and R1 are each independently C1-C22 substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched alkyl, C2-C22 substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched alkenyl, C2-C20 substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched hydroxyalkyl, C7-C20 substituted or unsubstituted alkylenearyl, C3-C20 substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, alkyleneoxy, C6-C20 aryl, C5-C20 heteroaryl comprising one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and mixtures thereof; two of the units Y1, Y2, R or R1 can be taken together to form one or more aromatic or non-aromatic, heterocyclic or non-heterocyclic, single rings, fused rings, bicyclo rings, spiroannulated rings, or mixtures thereof, said rings comprising from 3 to 20 carbon atoms and one or mor
